After a month of being offline, being homeless and unbeliveably stressed for a
few weeks, and finally settling into our new home, I'm finally back online,
with a brand new computer, new name, the works. Everyone is doing
great..........we're settling into life in the country. The first few...

strange rash on a 10-month old. please help! by
C Du
Our son Josh is having a rash that's even strange to the doctor. Basically,
he got a rash two days after taking antibiotics for the first time
(Amoxicilin). The rash looks like red small dots (see photos in the web page
below). We stopped the antibiotics and it gradually reduced over 3 days.
Then...

K-K ~Glass Boobs~
Well I feel much better about BF'ing now (still hate it) but I think my
crying days are almost over...
My DH insisted on me breast feeding, He didn't want to spend the money on
formula when we have something free. Well I had a bad night where I was
crying and mumbling about hating it on top of that...

First NIP by
Sidheag McCormack
On a crowded city bus, with an elderly gentleman in the seat next to us -
you don't get much more public than that! Fortunately DS (5w2d old) latched
on beautifully first time and stayed latched, for which I was profoundly
grateful!
Another first - he hasn't had a (really) dirty nappy yet today,...

Banana-pillar by
Phoebe & Allyson
Scheduling couldn't be worked out for tomorrow, so Grandma
and Grandpa came over this afternoon for the first solid
feeding.
They wanted to give her banana, and that was fine with us.
They were really so much more excited about it than we were,
so we just let them have at it.
I figured they'd...

Normal for 7 week old? by
Gorgon Park
This has been happening on and off for about a week and a half now, but
today it was for every feeding since we got up this morning.
My DD (7 weeks) will act hungry and I will latch her on and start to feed
her. Every thing will be good for a few minutes (about 3 or 4), then she
will start to cry...

help please by
Kim &Tim
Sorry this post is such a personal nature, but I just don't know what to
do right now. I have a yeast infection...not sure where it came from.
I was on antibiotics three weeks ago....but that seems like a long time.
Anyway, I looked up monistat in Hale's and it was L2. So, I used it
last night. ...

Is a Multivitamin Necessary? by
Mrs. Mommy
I have a 3 month old boy that only eats breastmilk, yet my doctor
suggests that I give him a whole dropper-full of multi-vitamins every
day. I'm not excited about this because it is no joy trying to feed
this icky stuff to the baby every day, not to mention that I take a
multi-vitamin...

Too Much Milk? by
Julie
Hi there,
I lurk often and LOVE this group.
In the early days of feeding my now 3 month old DS the LC helped me out with
a bit of an over-active letdown problem. DS was pulling down off the nipple
and choking and "clicking" while nursing.
We have that mostly worked out now. We nursed one-sided a...

cheap freezer storage bags? by
zeldabee
Has anyone found a cheaper alternative to breast milk storage bags? 5.99 for
25 is the cheapest I've seen the Gerber bags, and all the other brands are
more expensive. I was looking at regular 2 mil freezer bags, but I don't
think they're presterilized. Is it really necessary that the bags...

Solids for medication by
AlenasMom
I have to give Alena a pill called Lausec (I think I spelled that right)
for her reflux. The only way I can give it to her is in some form of a
solid (like rice cereal or fruit... or something.)
Is this going to cause her allergies and problems because she's only 5
months old??? I sat and cried...

What can I expect to feel? by
Philly
I think we may have finished breastfeeding. Dd (14 months) was only
nursing before bed until the weekend and since then she hasn't nursed
at all. I am not sure how I feel about it really but I've been trying
to find out what sort of feelings to expect and I haven't had any luck
so thought I'd try...

Is it just my daughter (food related)? by
Melissa
DD is nearing on eight months and still refuses to eat anything solid. We've
tried mashed food, jarred food (smoother than I can make it), chunks of
solid food and even teething biscuits (I know, they're a choking hazard) and
nothing works. She either purses her lips (she's a stubborn one) or, in...

OT Stupid things heard at Thanksgiving - vent by
Cheryl S.
At the Thanksgiving dinner table with everyone there yesterday, my BIL
says to me, "So now that you're home all the time, what are you doing?
Watching soap operas?"
Me: "No, I've never watched a soap opera and highly doubt I ever will"
(no offense to those that do)
BIL: "Oh, are you doing any...

A pleasant surprise by
laurie
I started my new job a few weeks ago, and was really nervous about the pumping
issue since I'm in a really small town and a tiny hospital, not a lot of staff,
that kind of thing. The day before I started I told the Chief Nursing Officer
that I am breastfeeding and asked if it would be a problem...

Medela SNS questions by
Jen in South Florida
Has anyone ever used the Medela SNS to feed two babies
simulatiously? I've tried to use it twice now, with the largest
tubes attached, but it seems like nothing flows out of it.
Does this mean the babies just aren't sucking hard enough, or is
there some adjustment that I'm missing. I thought...

Just had to join in the parade of 6-month-old picture postings. I've

goes. The first picture's a month or two old but I like it so I'm
posting it anyway. The second is Bug's first adventure with prunes
and the third is her...

the opposite of everyone else's sleep problem by
Stephanie and Tim
Last night, my 11.5 week old dd slept from 9:00 to 7:00 this am. And I got
HER up to eat. I confess I slept until then. I believe that the last couple
of nights she has been sleeping way more at night because her naps have gone
to hell in a handbasket. She eats great all day, it seems to me. She...
